The satellite operations controller shall have a demonstrated record of executing operation plans and controlling satellites. Candidates must have experience with satellite command and telemetry systems, mission planning systems, and operational functions of a mission control system. Understanding of satellite subsystems (e.g. electrical, software, mechanical, guidance & control, payloads, etc) is preferred. This position requires the controller to have a proven track record of executing detailed operations plans while working with engineers from a variety of disciplines (ground software, product, satellite subsystems).

Responsibilities:
The specific responsibilities for this position are broad in scope, but at a minimum include:
? Monitor all Skybox spacecraft for proper operation, responding to all off-nominal contingencies (telemetry limit violations, configuration and status changes, power and/or thermal anomalies, etc).
? Execute the operational plan for the satellite and associated ground systems, according to established procedures
? Execute the operational flow from satellite task planning to data delivery to the production environment
? Follow a set of routine flight procedures and flight rules to safely operate the satellites, documenting issues as they arise
? Operate satellite and ground system monitoring and maintenance tools, to include troubleshooting of network issues
? Participate in mission scenario testing to validate operational readiness
? Conduct and assist in the development of training programs
? Participate in multiple satellite launch campaigns
? Execute innovative mission operations solutions to minimize resources and scale effectively with constellation
